COOKING PAPAYA FLOWERS

These were gift from our neighbors on Sunday. 

After we picked lots of things from their garden.

We shared the load from our gardens.

There were papaya flowers and Moringa leaves.

The papaya flowers were came from male tree.

Looks beautiful.

Here, papaya flowers usually cooked and served as traditional dish.

Beautiful stuff or delicious dish.

The taste is a bit bitter.

We use to stir fry the flower with hot chili and anchovies.

Right now, the flowers are still in my refrigerator.
I will share the dish next...
Thanks GOD

TURI PUTIH : FIRST BLOSSOM

Finally we can find beautiful white flowers from our little Turi tree (Sesbania grandiflora)

This white edible flowers are making me so happy.

From several seeds that we sowed, only two germinated, and this is the survivor.

We grow it on a paint bucket.

And the height is about 1 meter.

Actually there were some flower buds several weeks ago, but all disappeared by the caterpillars.
